“It felt very welcoming. I have difficulty opening up to new people, but it felt as if we had known each other for a long time, and it just came naturally. I appreciate the professionalism and dedication.”

“I've really been enjoying my sessions with Cristin. She has taken into consideration my preferences for how I work best in therapy and has already helped me realize things I was not aware of before. Our sessions are an opportunity for me to talk through and process my feelings while also feeling productive and like I am moving forward.”

Getting to know Cristin McKenna
Cristin McKenna is a Licensed Master of Social Work with the group practice Rappore and is currently working under the supervision of a clinically licensed practitioner. Rappore is not currently in-network with Medicaid or Managed Medicaid.
Cristin believes that the goal of therapy is to help her clients obtain the insight and coping skills they need to lead meaningful and satisfying lives. She uses a non-judgmental, collaborative, and empathic approach to help her clients identify their innate strengths to take control over their thoughts and emotions. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, she helps her clients understand negative behavior patterns or perceptions that may be holding them back from experiencing more fulfilling lives. Cristin works with her clients to empower themselves and to make positive changes towards a path of deeper healing, growth, and well-being.
Cristin earned her Bachelor’s in Sociology and Masters in Social Work from Boston College. She has worked with adults diagnosed with complex mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance use, bipolar, ADHD, and personality disorders. She has experience working in various clinical settings including psychiatric hospital, residential treatment, and outpatient dual diagnosis programs. She implements evidence-based treatment modalities such as CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, relapse prevention, and motivational interviewing to best meet her clients’ needs.

I've seen seeing Cristina since Fall/Winter 2023 and have had a great experience. Finding the right therapist for you is so subjective, but these are the things that made me feel comfortable with Cristina:
- Always professional, but with a human touch
- Thoughtful listener
- Validates and challenges me when needed, but this is never heavy handed or infused with syrupy sweet empathy
- Very easy to get in touch with
- Our sessions leave me feeling better!

I've been working with Cristin for almost a year and feel really comfortable, seen and inspired by our sessions. Cristin actively takes notes and contributes to conversations while also asking compelling yet respectful questions that feel aligned with my goals. She's also a great communicator for scheduling changes or openings and is very accessible even of the physical meeting space.

Cristin is an incredible therapist! I consistently leave our sessions with more self-insight and understanding. I have felt extremely heard in my time with her. She challenges harmful beliefs in a tactful and compassionate way and I have never felt invalidated by the reframing. My quality of life and mental health has certainly improved in my time with her. I cannot recommend her enough!
